Using emPix

Configure

Select Menu|Settings.

Enter your SMTP server name, your email address, your name and reply-to address.

Easiest way to figure out correct settings is to copy them from your desktop email software (Outlook, Eudora ...).

Select image

Tap on 'Select' button to open Select Image dialog. Select image from the list and tap on OK button. Image will be converted to JPEG format. Please note that there is only one image saved in JPEG format at any time. Selecting another image overwrites previous JPEG image.

Fill in the rest

Select recipients (last one is saved) and subject. Type in short note to be included with the message.

Send

Tap on Send Mail button and emPix will connect to server and start sending the message. Using data enabled 14.4 phone as a modem it takes 2-3 minutes to transfer average 320x200 image, 3-5 min for 640x480 image. If you use 33.3 modem, transmition time goes down to 1-2 minutes for larger images.

Speed option

If your connection speed is at least 33.6K you may want to try 'Fast' setting for slight performance increase. Otherwise leave it at 'Safe'.
